Chapter 9: Q. 15 (page 567)

Match each point in polar coordinates with either A,B,C or D on the graph.
$(- 2, \frac{7 π}{6})$

Short Answer

Expert verified

Point $(- 2, \frac{7 π}{6})$ is a correct match with A on the graph.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

We have been given a point in polar coordinates $(- 2, \frac{7 π}{6})$ .

We have to match this point on the graph.

Step 2. Plot the given point on the polar coordinate as per the value of r and θ

To graph a point in polar coordinates $(r, θ)$ , we have to know that r is the distance between the point and the origin and is the angle with respect to the polar axis, now when the value of r is negative the point is located in the opposite sense of the angle, and if $θ$ is negative this means that the angle is taken on the clockwise sense.

Therefore, the correct match is A.
